Adding music to sansa clip plus

Have dragged and dropped music to the music folder for my player but it does not show up in player although the space has been taken up. When I use Windows Media Player 11 the tracks do not load and I get a series of red x's. Could some expert offer some simple advice.

    Where did you get the music from? in the first place. I suspect you not have the permission to copy it anymore to any device.
    look at the DRM properties of the tracks I bet is says you can't transfer to another device.

    A lot of the music is from my own cd's which are on itunes.

    What format did you use to rip the CDs?

    I would check the DRM of the files

    Now you are starting to talk a foreign language. How would I check?

    I had similar issues with my son's Sansa player. In the end we transferred the files by syncing with Windows Media Player, rather than drag and drop. Worked fine then.

    I can sync what is on Windows Media Player but it is a limited selection. I have been able to add music to various other mp3 players through itunes. Can it be that the format of the music can be changed to enable transfers from itunes.
